Piano Duets: Classical Composers presents varied and accessible repertoire for every duet player. The collection includes attractive new arrangements of orchestral and chamber gems, alongside new editions of original works written specifically for piano duet. You'll find sonata movements by less well-known composers of the period, Clementi and J.C.F. Bach, as well as Beethoven's complete Sonata in D major, one of the few original duet sonatas written by the composer. The volume is concluded with a light and attractive Minuet and Trio by Haydn, a colourful Theme and Variations by Mozart, and a graceful and flowing arrangement of Schubert's Entr'acte Music from Rosamunde.
Ranging from the intimate to the virtuosic, these pieces are ideal for duettists looking for new recital material as well as those beginning to explore the medium.
